The Album Review Club - Week #145 - (page 1923) - Tellin' Stories - The Charlatans

On the subject of biblical lyrics, I always thought The Rainmakers came out with some not-so-serious gems:-

Moses went up to the mountain high
To find out from God, "Why did you make us? Why?"
Secret words in a secret room
He said, "Wop-bop-a-lu-bop-a-lop-bam-boom"

In the film Dogma, Alan Rickmsn plays the Metatron as the voice of God but The Rainmakers reckon it was Little Richard then?

Edit: I've just played Let My People Go Go and was surprised to find I knew it. Looked them up and indeed they were one hit wonders over here.

So is you in or is you out?

Everyone will just cheat and use Chatgpt

Edit: just asked Freshbot to create something about your idea. It came up with this ..

Threadin' the Needle...

(Chorus)
Yo, we threadin’ the needle, ideas are lethal,
Dodgy rap game, it's straight from the people,
Flexin’ on the beat, gotta bring the heat,
Bitches on the thread, they can’t handle the feat.
(Verse 1)
Scrollin’ through the feed, what the fuck is this?
Some xxxxxx droppin’ ideas, man, they straight up miss,
Talkin’ ‘bout a rap game, where the bars don’t land,
Soundin’ like a clown, yo, who gave you the hand?
Dodgy ideas, like a scam on the street,
Tryna build a kingdom, but you can’t take the heat,
Flexin' on a wish, but you ain’t got the drive,
In this online jungle, only the strong survive.
(Chorus)
Yo, we threadin’ the needle, ideas are lethal,
Dodgy rap game, it's straight from the people,
Flexin’ on the beat, gotta bring the heat,
Bitches on the thread, they can’t handle the feat.
(Verse 2)
Jumpin’ in the convo, like a thug on a spree,
Got my crew in the back, they all rollin' with me,
Spittin’ fire in the thread, ain’t no room for the weak,
If you ain't got the hustle, then you best not speak.
Bitches laughin’ hard, like this shit is a joke,
But I’m here to elevate, let the real xxxxxxx poke,
Bring the savage vibes, yeah, we ballin' all night,
Dodgy ideas fallin’ like stars in the fight.
(Chorus)
Yo, we threadin’ the needle, ideas are lethal,
Dodgy rap game, it's straight from the people,
Flexin’ on the beat, gotta bring the heat,
Bitches on the thread, they can’t handle the feat.
(Bridge)
Yo, we ridin’ this thread, like it’s all we got,
Dodgy or not, we gon’ make it hot,
Post that shit, watch the numbers climb,
Even if it's weird, we still makin’ rhymes.
(Outro)
So when you hit the thread, bring your A-game,
No dodgy ideas, just respect the name,
We threadin’ the needle, keepin’ it raw,
In this rap game, xxxxxx, we breakin’ the law.

Yet huge over the years in Norway.

Three very good albums in the 80s.

Are you saying there’s an App to write this crap, a rhyme on tap, then calling it Rap?

Delivery of rhyming pairs, the goal
Who cares, about the whole, it’s Bot n Roll, ain’t got no soul.
Grows old quite quick and interest
Wears, thin.

Instead, Search within, yourself.
What’s in your head not plucking from the shelf
Of cyber space’s supermarket.
Target there, see if we can tell if

It came from you
Not R2D2.
 
Yo man, listen to this vibe........


Yo, Manchester City, the sky's the limit, that’s true,
But now they’re in the headlines, with charges coming through,
One hundred fifteen counts, yeah, they’re stacking up high,
Financial fair play, man, they gotta comply.

Winning titles, stacking trophies, flexing all that gold,
But now the board’s in trouble, the story’s getting bold,
Was it fair play or foul play, now they gotta defend,
The league's got questions, man, it’s time to amend.

Man City, Man City, what’s the deal with the heat?
One fifteen charges, yeah, it’s shaking the street,
In the land of blue, now the drama’s on blast,
Is the legacy real, or is it all in the past?

Champions League dreams, they’ve been chasing the fame,
But with these accusations, it’s a high-stakes game,
Money flows like rivers, but the books gotta match,
Or the trophies might slip, man, they’re caught in the catch.

Pep's on the sideline, looking focused and keen,
But even with the magic, the charges are seen,
Are the wins still golden or tainted by doubt?
The fans and the critics, man, they’re all calling out.

Man City, Man City, what’s the deal with the heat?
One fifteen charges, yeah, it’s shaking the street,
In the land of blue, now the drama’s on blast,
Is the legacy real, or is it all in the past?

So what’s the next chapter, where’s this story gonna go?
Will they clear their name or let the scandal show?
In the world of football, it’s a high-stakes play,
Manchester City, gotta face it today.

Man City, Man City, what’s the deal with the heat?
One fifteen charges, yeah, it’s shaking the street,
In the land of blue, now the drama’s on blast,
Is the legacy real, or is it all in the past?

From the Etihad vibes to the global stage,
The questions keep coming, it’s the latest rage,
Manchester City, gotta navigate the storm,
Will they rise to the challenge or be forever transformed?
